Update 3.91 is almost here! This update contains a few bug fixes and a few improvements. Below are the update notes.Please note, wars will not be declareable until Tuesday the 19th after 4pm PT-- this is to avoid war attacks from taking place while everyone is in the middle of updating or waiting for this update to be available. (disregard this part, and please see PGMichael’s post below)

Bug Fixes

Updated our CRM tool, Zendesk to support iPhone X (however players will not be able to view FAQ library just yet)

Fixed a few issues causing crashes to help improve game performance

Updates

Added a winter theme to your main base

The game has been optimized for iPhone X

Atlas Changes

The camera no longer automatically zooms out when closing the region view.

Removed “Saved Camera state” to prevent an issue where the UI would appear, but the map would be blacked out. This issue should be fully fixed in Version 4.00.

Adjusted the tappable bounds of poachers to make it easier to select them.

Fixed an issue where Bonus Poacher loot from No Man’s Lands were not being properly awarded.

Fixed an issue where paths between regions were not rendered on the map for Android users. Pushed back to v4.00

well I made that conclusion after declaring a war 7 minutes before i posted so I might have misunderstood it. but going by what I experienced, either war is not going to be declarable later or the war that was declared will get cancelled once it reaches 4PM PST.

Or… there was an error in implementing it and it got delayed without them noticing.

We were planning on disabling war declaration during the upgrade window but we did some backend work to make the two versions compatible with each other instead. The team wanted to create the least amount of friction during this update cycle. We will definitely deploy the war declaration block during the next major update in January.

To clarify for minor updates like 3.91, we will try our best to keep the versions compatible with previous live versions like 3.90. This should make the transition much smoother between the two versions and allow battles to occur with no issues. In the case of major updates like 4.00 we will block wars on Monday 4pm PST to Tuesday 4pm pst. In conjunction we will try to always do major releases on Tuesday 1pm PST to 6pm PST and force all upgrades by 4pm PST the following day. This will in turn disallow wars during the upgrade window.

This deserves a standing ovation.

I would have preferred knowing this sooner, but beggars can’t be choosers.
